Every marriage has some degree of regrettable past. But the successful marriage practices daily forgiveness on the altar of prayer. Don’t build a monument of your spouse’s past sins in your heart & when you’re wrong don’t be too proud to apologize. Give your marriage a new breath of life. Today; let-go & forgive your spouse for everything that happened in the past. “Be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, as GOD has always forgiven you.” Ephesians 4:32. Yes, You can do it.

3. When a marriage falls apart we wonder, “What has just happened?” We are shocked because usually marriages that fail appear very strong from a distance. But the reality is that a lot has been happening behind the scenes over a long period of time. Marriage doesn’t just fall apart suddenly. Marriage falls apart in installments, little by little, a crack here and a crack there, and a leak here and a leak there. Some marriages begin to fall apart before the couple says, “I do.” Usually it’s not the big things that cause divorce. It’s the small things that are neglected over a period of time. Remember, a stitch in time saves nine.
Don’t neglect the small things in marriage. Take care of the small problems and the big ones will take care of themselves. “Catch all the foxes, those little foxes, before they ruin the vineyard of love, for the grapevines are blossoming!” (Songs of Solomon 2:15)

4. When husband and wife are not communicating, it gives the devil uncontested time to talk to each spouse separately, sowing seeds of suspicion, doubt and lies. The silent treatment is the loudest invitation of trouble in your marriage. Regardless of how bad things get between you and your spouse, keep talking. Stay blessed. Peace be unto you all.
